Hello,
The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work
on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since
2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are
undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness
about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify
existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge
gaps and priority areas of focus and the role of research in addressing the
same.
We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the
needs assessment questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/2xGAUBKSVJTK7Wks9
The deadline to submit your response has been extended till 5 March 2021.
Feel free to write in any language. For any query please write to us at:

नमस्ते Maithili Wikimedians,
The Project Tiger Writing Contest has started with great responses. A few
communities such as Tamil, Malayalam, and Punjabi are participating
enthusiastically.
We feel that real-life edit-a-thons might be a good way to encourage your
community members. If you are planning to have an offline edit-a-thon o
Project Tiger both financially and more important programmatically.
Note: Our budget for each offline event in India is ~8,000 INR.
It would be great if you could host an offline edit-a-thon for your
community.
Please contact tito(a)cis-india.org for questions.
Thanks
Tito Dutta
